<div>Hi,<br><br> I've been seeing some birds at my backyard feeder here in<br>Burlington that I'm not positive I'm identifying them correctly.<br><br> They are the size and shape of a Goldfinch - some are considerably<br>smaller (probably young). They are all over a light gray in color -<br>including underside, head, wings, etc. I do not hear them singing<br>or calling (they may be but it isn't obvious like with a<br>Goldfinch). There are no definable color markings on the wings<br>or tale ... just an overall light gray everywhere. If I was<br>seeing them without any strong light - a silhouette - I'd be<br>tempted to ID them as a Goldfinch or some kind of sparrow.<br> They sit and stand and fly like the other song birds at the<br>feeder - with no identifying behavior (that I've detected).<br>Most of the time they are on the feeder but maybe 30% of the<br>time they will be on the aggregate below the feeder or in the<br>flower beds ... especially if it is one of the small ones.<br><br> Ideas?<br> - Jim<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Tweeters mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Tweeters@u.washington.edu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tweeters@u.washington.edu</a><br><a href="http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/tweeters" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/tweeters</a><br></div>
